god_n the_o father_n whereby_o we_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o man_n by_o grace_n fulfil_v the_o law_n do_v merit_n their_o salvation_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o grace_n can_v be_v give_v we_o but_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o death_n &_o merit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o we_o say_v that_o by_o grace_n infuse_v into_o we_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n good_a work_n be_v wrought_v which_o be_v not_o now_o our_o work_n but_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o those_o work_n merit_v salvation_n who_o be_v able_a to_o overthrow_v this_o bulwark_n build_v upon_o so_o sure_a a_o rock_n which_o be_v so_o profound_a be_v not_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o undermine_v the_o depth_n nor_o come_v near_o the_o top_n thereof_o be_v so_o high_a but_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n overthrow_v such_o wicked_a blasphemy_n whereupon_o by_o the_o help_n of_o who_o power_n thus_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o subtle_a cavil_n and_o untrue_o speak_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o our_o work_n for_o although_o that_o by_o grace_n we_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n who_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n mighty_o stir_v up_o our_o heart_n replenish_v with_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o work_v such_o charitable_a work_n as_o be_v prescribe_v in_o god_n book_n though_o yet_o unperfect_o perform_v on_o our_o part_n yet_o can_v it_o not_o be_v say_v but_o that_o they_o be_v our_o work_n even_o as_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v our_o faith_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o grace_n as_o for_o example_n who_o will_v doubt_n of_o the_o woman_n which_o be_v disease_v with_o 25._o a_o issue_n of_o blood_n twelve_o year_n have_v a_o strong_a faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o that_o she_o have_v the_o same_o by_o grace_n and_o yet_o christ_n say_v unto_o she_o thy_o faith_n have_v make_v thou_o whole_a here_o you_o see_v that_o christ_n call_v it_o 22._o her_o faith_n though_o she_o have_v the_o same_o by_o grace_n &_o so_o of_o work_n they_o be_v our_o work_n though_o they_o be_v do_v by_o grace_n but_o let_v it_o be_v grant_v for_o truth_n that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o be_v renovate_v receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n who_o work_v in_o we_o all_o good_a thing_n yea_o all_o the_o good_a work_n that_o be_v wrought_v by_o man_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n who_o say_v it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n even_o of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o 13._o that_o we_o can_v not_o have_v obtain_v grace_n from_o god_n the_o father_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o death_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n so_o that_o they_o be_v not_o now_o to_o be_v call_v our_o work_n but_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n let_v all_o this_o that_o be_v say_v be_v grant_v yet_o that_o by_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o same_o grace_n we_o merit_v salvation_n that_o be_v utter_o false_a and_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o saint_n john_n say_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n be_v 36_o take_v away_o what_o follow_v then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n to_o they_o who_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o slay_a lamb_n christ_n jesus_n but_o it_o be_v not_o say_v behold_v the_o good_a work_n of_o grace_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n but_o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n then_o it_o be_v only_a christ_n that_o merit_v heaven_n for_o we_o by_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n nor_o our_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n and_o why_o be_v he_o call_v a_o lamb_n because_o of_o his_o innocence_n for_o saint_n peter_n say_v he_o be_v a_o lamb_n undefiled_a and_o without_o spot_n and_o because_o he_o be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o slay_v as_o a_o sheep_n to_o the_o slaughter_n he_o be_v innocent_a and_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o do_v never_o violence_n nor_o unrighteousness_n neither_o 22_o have_v there_o be_v any_o deceitfulness_n in_o his_o mouth_n he_o be_v without_o sin_n &_o deserve_v not_o to_o die_v but_o he_o die_v &_o therefore_o for_o something_o truth_n he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o for_o esay_n say_v the_o lord_n throw_v they_o all_o upon_o he_o and_o so_o make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o which_o know_v no_o sin_n but_o by_o imputation_n 21_o be_v they_o make_v his_o sin_n and_o our_o sin_n be_v thus_o take_v from_o we_o and_o lay_v upon_o he_o death_n have_v thereby_o power_n over_o he_o which_o slay_v he_o for_o our_o sin_n so_o that_o as_o by_o imputation_n christ_n be_v make_v the_o only_a sinner_n for_o the_o elect_a and_o therefore_o dye_v so_o be_v all_o the_o elect_a by_o imputation_n make_v as_o innocent_a christ._n and_o christ_n clothe_v his_o elect_a with_o his_o innocence_n god_n the_o father_n behold_v they_o no_o more_o as_o sinner_n to_o damnation_n but_o as_o christ_n jesus_n because_o christ_n have_v washéd_v clean_o away_o in_o god_n judgement_n all_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n from_o we_o with_o his_o precious_a blood_n which_o he_o have_v shed_v upon_o the_o cross_n so_o as_o the_o filthy_a chanelraker_n pollute_v with_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o channel_n dirt_n

of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n and_o attribute_v the_o same_o to_o i_o rite_n and_o work_n by_o grace_n whereby_o they_o have_v make_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o put_v christ_n clean_o out_o
